A breakout board for one of the cheap NRF24L01 modules for Raspbery Pi.
##Module pin outs Top view of the NRF24L01 modules pins are assumed to be:
8 Pin
|GND |3v3 |
|CE |CSN |
|SCK |MOSI |
|MISO |IRQ (not connected)|
10 Pin
|3v3 |3v3 |
|CE |CSN |
|SCK |MOSI |
|MISO |IRQ (not connected)|
|GND |GND |
Please check that your modules match one of these pin layouts otherwise you risk damaging your raspberry pi or the NRF24L01 module.
